Exegesis
A temporal-conditional clause is introduced by ki-yavo’u {כִּֽי־יָבֹ֣אוּ | kî-yā-ḇō-ʾū} ‘when they come’, with avotam {אֲבוֹתָם֩ | ʾă-vo-ṯām} ‘their fathers’ or akheihem {אֲחֵיהֶ֜ם | ʾă-ḥê-hēm} ‘their brothers’ linked by an infinitive lariv {לָרִ֣יב | lā-rîḇ} ‘to dispute’ and the directional phrase eleinu {אֵלֵ֗ינוּ | ʾê-lê-nū} ‘toward us’.
In context — Judges 21:22
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to dispute with us, that we will say to them, “Show favor to them , because we did not take a wife for each man in the war, and because you did not give to them at this time, so that you would not be guilty .”
